statement detailing all aircraft<br />
activity, incurred costs and charter<br />
revenue. Our operations, maintenance<br />
and accounting managers<br />

CREW SERVICES AND TRAINING<br />
As the aircraft owner, you are always in control<br />
of who flies your plane. Air Rutter International<br />
is fully prepared to handle the day-to-day<br />
management of your flight crew or we can<br />
leave it in your capable hands—we’ll manage<br />
the crew at any level you desire.<br />
Rest assured, Air Rutter International selects<br />
only the most qualified pilots with extensive<br />
flight experience. For your aircraft, we will<br />
screen and identify crew members, from<br />
pilots to cabin attendants, for your consideration,<br />
and you will have final approval for all<br />
recommended individuals. We’ll handle flight<br />
scheduling, vacation and sick days. Should an<br />
aircraft have a preexisting flight crew, we will<br />
work with them and train them in our policies<br />
and procedures to ensure a cohesive<br />
working relationship.<br />
Once selected, pilots are required to complete<br />
our comprehensive in-house curriculum<br />
conducted by our Chief Pilot and Director of<br />
Operations, as well as FAA<br />
required training. Company indoc-<br />
“We select only the most<br />
qualified pilots with<br />
extensive flight experience.”<br />
7<br />
trination classes include intensive review of<br />
company policies and FAA regulations.<br />
Pilot training is included as a budget expense in<br />
your management contract. Aircraft systems training<br />
and simulator training will be conducted at<br />
FlightSafety and CAE Simuflite. Captains will fly<br />
up to two check rides each year, conducted either<br />
in a simulator or aircraft. If your aircraft has a<br />
flight attendant, they will be trained to provide<br />
comprehensive in-flight service and schooled to<br />
handle emergencies.<br />
All pilots will receive required First Class physical<br />
examinations and participate in the FAA’s<br />
required drug and alcohol screening programs.

MAINTENANCE<br />
Air Rutter International follows manufacturers’ recommendations<br />
and subscribes to computerized<br />
maintenance tracking programs. All scheduled and<br />
unscheduled aircraft maintenance is supervised by our<br />
Director of Maintenance, and performed by our staff<br />
or a qualified outside vendor. Heavy maintenance is<br />
arranged with the aircraft manufacturer or major service<br />
centers and is monitored by our personnel.<br />

an hourly basis as performed by the technician. Aircraft<br />
parts are purchased under out fleet discount plan.<br />

“We act as your personal flight<br />
department and are responsive<br />
to your aviation needs.”<br />
SCHEDULING AND DISPATCH<br />
Air Rutter International maintains 24-hour scheduling<br />
and dispatch. All trip details are handled by our<br />
dispatch department and coordinated with the owner<br />
or appropriate office personnel. Charter flights are<br />
scheduled only after obtaining owner approval.<br />
Information concerning flight times, airports, fixed<br />
base operators, international requirements, weather,<br />
catering, ground transportation and hotels is available<br />
through the dispatch office. We act as your personal<br />
flight department and are flexible and responsive to<br />
your aviation needs. Our extensive contacts around<br />
the world provide direct handling, eliminating thirdparty<br />
charges—saving owners as much as 50 percent<br />
on international fees.<br />
Flights are closely tracked and precise arrival times<br />
are available upon request. Extreme care and individual<br />
attention is given to flight preparation and<br />
special requests.<br />
INSURANCE<br />
Air Rutter International’s crew qualifications, safety<br />
record and fleet size have resulted in some of the<br />
lowest rates on our comprehensive aircraft insurance<br />
policy. Underwritten by AIG, our coverage limits,<br />
terms and conditions are broader than most aviation<br />
policies. Additional insurance is arranged when necessary<br />
to meet requirements for charter operations.
A I R C R A F T S E R V I C E S<br />
FUEL<br />
Air Rutter International lowers your operating costs<br />
by obtaining reasonably priced fuel. We have a<br />
dedicated fuel buyer based in Long Beach. This individual<br />
looks at every trip to plan the fuel purchases<br />
to ensure that at all times you are getting the best<br />
possible fuel price at each airport visited. The high<br />
volume of fuel purchased at our fixed base operation—the<br />
Long Beach Air Center—in California and<br />
our facility in Farmingdale, New York, enables us to<br />
pass on substantial savings to our aircraft owners.<br />
Fuel can often account for 70 percent of your direct<br />
operating cost. Additionally, flight crews are<br />
directed by flight dispatch where to purchase<br />
contract fuel to ensure the lowest costs.<br />
<strong>AIRCRAFT</strong> STORAGE<br />
Air Rutter International will either store your aircraft<br />
in one of our facilities or arrange to hangar your<br />
aircraft at your preferred base of operation. Office<br />
space and storage space for parts and equipment will<br />
also be arranged. Your specific space requirement<br />
will be reflected in the quoted cost.<br />
Aircraft tow service and electrical power units will<br />
be provided. Our personnel will position your<br />
aircraft before and after each flight from its operating<br />
base. They will also be available to assist with<br />
luggage and ground transportation. When<br />
requested, hangar storage for your aircraft will be<br />
arranged when it is away from its home base.<br />

CLEANING AND STOCKING<br />
Air Rutter International has dedicated personnel to<br />
maintain the appearance of your aircraft. Exterior and<br />
interior cleaning services, including upholstery and<br />
carpeting, are available<br />
to keep your aircraft<br />
looking top-notch.<br />
Larger aircraft will<br />
have an assigned flight<br />
attendant who will be<br />
responsible for stocking<br />
your plane. We<br />
maintain a supply of<br />
crystal, china, flatware,<br />
linens and paper goods, snacks, wine, beer and<br />
liquors for the galley. If you have a special request,<br />
we’ll take care of you.<br />
ADDITIONAL PROFESSIONAL SERVICES<br />
Air Rutter International’s services go well beyond<br />
aircraft management and charter. Based on our experience,<br />
we have also established programs that include<br />
aircraft sales, aircraft budget and analysis, as well as<br />
aircraft acquisition consulting. Whatever your business<br />
needs, Air Rutter International has you covered.

CHARTER <strong>MANAGEMENT</strong> PROGRAM<br />
As important a decision it is to choose an aircraft, it is equally<br />
important to choose a management company. Air Rutter<br />
International is not the largest management company that you<br />
could choose, however, we are the best. We feel that as a smaller<br />
operation, we can provide you and your company a more intimate<br />
and personalized service. We will cater to your needs and<br />
requirements. We will be flexible and are willing to change as<br />
needed to better serve you.<br />
By chartering your aircraft, we are able to offset some or all of the<br />
fixed costs associated with your aircraft. It enables you to generate<br />
revenue on your aircraft when it is not being used for business.<br />
10<br />
Air Rutter International’s charter<br />
program is structured to accommodate<br />
your needs as the owner by generating<br />
charter around your usage with<br />
your approval. You will have the<br />
opportunity to approve all charter<br />
trips prior to being booked. Once<br />
flown, we will provide scheduling,<br />
invoice preparation and guaranteed<br />
collection.<br />
For each hour of charter flown, you are<br />
paid a fixed rate per flight hour, as<br />
designated in the management agreement.<br />
This income is summarized on the<br />
charter revenue statement included in<br />
your monthly management statement.<br />
We have been very successful in offsetting<br />
owner fixed costs and even the cost<br />
of owner flying when the aircraft has<br />
been made available to us for charter<br />
operations. The charter management<br />
program is structured to accommodate<br />
your needs as an owner and offers<br />
significant benefits with no risk.
“Making your corporate aircraft<br />
ownership experience a smooth flight.”<br />
